what kind of problems do you expect, can you give some more comments on
that?

true, but the module does this in the same way as non-scanned files are
hidden, so there is no extra code involved.

I might need some help to do that. I have never worked with attributes.
Furthermore, right now the module is stackable (the underlying
filesystem can be another samba vfs module). I don't know if samba
features the getfattr and setfattr calls in the VFS layer, and it would
be great to keep the module stackable.
